The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Yenxa cast the spells that she learned. Although she knew that she had no chance of winning, her goal was last long against an expert above her level.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Leef swung the rapier in her hand. Every slash demolished dozens of black tentacles that were blocking her path. She didn't even need to exert her strength to destroy all these tentacles.

Hmm?

She suddenly looked up and saw clouds of green gas forming above the arena. The poisonous gas in that area was too thick and she calculated that even peak A-rank would be affected.

'Just like I thought... Her ability is dangerous.'

Leef said inwardly.

Boom!!

The thick and dense green clouds roared. The next moment, the rain started to fall on the entire arena. It was a weird rain as it has a color of green. It didn't take them too long to realize that it was poison.

Leef tried to dodge the rain but there were too many drops. It blocked all of her escape routes so she could only let the rain fall on her body.

"This..."

She examined her body. She noticed that the poisonous rain didn't have any effect on her currently but it was slowly eroding her natural protective field. It was too weak that she guess that it would take at least several hours to corrode her protective field.

After the natural protective field, it was the skin and the skin of a peak S-rank like her was tough. It would also take a lot of time before the rain melted her skin. And below the first layer of skin, there was another protective field.

"Still, I needed to finish this as soon as possible."

She muttered before she charged at Yenxa once again. She slashed her rapier repeatedly launching various combat arts.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yenxa tried everything that she could to avoid the series of attacks. But she couldn't avoid everything. It caused her several wounds but she quickly mobilized the power of parasites to heal her wounds.

She used liquid poison to launch an attack but her opponent was simply too strong. She was having a hard time right now.

Every second, a cut would appear on her body and at the same time, the parasite would heal it. If this keeps up, sooner or later the power of parasite would get exhausted.

[Dominion Gale Cut]!

Leef's figure flashed forward. The next moment, she was already standing behind Yenxa.

Ugh!

Yenxa groaned in pain as a huge cut appeared on her body. But she didn't fall down, she let the parasite heal her wounds and several strings of flesh covered her body.

Boom!

The aura around her body grew stronger. It caused the whole arena to tremble as various gas oozed out of her pores. This gas had different colors it was a mixture of red and purple. Dark green liquid started to drip from the spikes on her back.

Green veins pop up on Yenxa's skin. It was thumping a tremendous amount of best feram throughout her body. Her nails grew long like sharp claws and poison flowed through them. Various spikes protruded on her back as the monster orb on the center of her chest glowed brightly.

Then, various jet-black tattoos spread throughout her skin.

[Monster Orb Release]!

Looking at the momentum that Yenxa was releasing, Leef was unfazed. She even smiled and faced Yenxa's power.

"Then, let me respond."

She raised her rapier and it glowed brightly. Orange light erupted as it enveloped her entire right arm. When the light disappeared, her arm was covered in some sort of red armor and it was connected to the rapier, oozing a dangerous aura.

This was her soul weapon, [Crimsom Right Hand].

Boom!!

"Good. Yenxa's holding on." Souta smiled.

Alice glanced at him and asked, "Did she learn the [Element Drive]?"

Souta shook his head. "No, when we were training. She didn't have enough time to master it. This is the current limit of her power."

"I see... She even forced Leef to use her soul weapon. It's already a great achievement." Alice nodded at his words.

"In the near future, Yenxa will grow into a powerhouse. She had that potential." Souta still had a smile on his face.

In his opinion, it doesn't matter even if Yenxa was defeated in this battle. Yenxa was still grasping her own style and she was close to mastering it. This battle would further hone her combat prowess.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of explosions echoed repeatedly as two figures clashed in the arena.

Bang!

Yenxa waved her hand as a wall of liquid poison burst from her hand. But it didn't do anything, the poison wall simply exploded when the rapier pierced it.

She jumped away trying to create some distance but Leef was too fast.

"You can't escape from me," Leef said as she appeared behind Yenxa. She swung her weapon and the armor in her arm delivered a huge force.

Boom!!

The force further enhances her attack. Yenxa was blown away and crashed on the barrier. Layers of flesh around her stomach disintegrated instantly when that attack landed.

She narrowed her eyes and saw Leef charging at her. She felt that she reached her limit. She couldn't even understand the ability of her opponent. The difference was simply huge.

This would be the last.

She opened her mouth widely and gathered her best feram.

Small dots emerged and these dots gathered together, forming a huge energy sphere. It expanded before it shrunk.

[Bestrou]!!

"Sure, I'll take it head-on." Leef smiled as she pulled back her weapon. Her abundant mana flared up reaching the limit of S-rank. She's not holding back.

When the ray of energy arrived in front of her, she thrust her rapier with overwhelming power.

[Ultimate Crimson Night Thrust]!!

BOOM!!!

The two attacks collided causing a huge shockwave. Various energy sparked in every direction. It whipped the surroundings violently.

BOOM!!

The [Bestrou] didn't even last more than five seconds before Leef's attack pushed through it. It moved forward and swallowed Yenxa's figure.

The explosion covered the entire space inside the barrier. It caused a huge tremor but it didn't penetrate the thick barrier made of several monster orbs.

The audience couldn't see anything as smoke and dust filled the whole area but those people with high power levels could perceive what happened inside without any effort.

The next moment, the smoke was blown away and it revealed Leef's figure standing at the center. Yenxa was on the ground without moving. She was knocked out.

"OH!!! The winner of this battle is... LEEF!!!!!"

Meina declared the winner in a loud voice that echoed throughout the entire Astros.

Since the battle was finished, the earth mage hurriedly bring Yenxa out of the arena and let the medics handle her. Then, they return to fix the arena once again.

"This girl is a top contender at S-rank. Yenxa did a great job in withstanding those attacks from Leef." Souta commented.

This was the second battle and there were several battles left. Doranjan, Alice, Franklin, and the others haven't even fought. They could only wait for their turn.

At this moment, Meina announced the contestants of the next battle. They were Isabella and a witch named Hanso.

To think that Isabella, who didn't like battle, would join this tournament of her own volition. Isabella currently had the power level of an initial S-rank.

Although her strength was weaker compared to Hanso, no one underestimate her. Her skills were one of the most dangerous in the entire Astros. The techniques and skills that she was practicing were different from others. It was a pure killing skill for a fast and swift hunt.

Souta glanced at Hanso and examined his body. He found that Hanso had a normal defense of a high S-rank.

'If he didn't have any defensive ability that could block true damage then Isabella had a chance to defeat him. True damage is indeed strong.'

He knew that Isabella had skills that could easily penetrate the armor and defense of her enemy. It was a terrifying skill made for swiftly killing a target.

True damage. A damage that couldn't be blocked or reduced by armor or a protective field. It would directly chip the target's HP.

Unless a person had resistance to this type of attack, they couldn't guard against it. Well, there were various defensive skills had the ability to block true damage but he doubt that Hanso had one.

If he had broken one of his shackles and sublimated his body. He could effortlessly defeat Isabella.

Speaking of shackles...

Souta turned to Alice and asked, "You've broken one of your shackles, right?"

"Yeah, why?" Alice nodded lightly.

"What's the characteristic that you've gained? Eilish told me that her first characteristic is the increase in speed of her mana recovery. This characteristic made her comparable to those magical humans in terms of recovery speed." Souta explained to her.

"Characteristics of energy recovery, huh? I want that too... but the one I received was the characteristics of ice." Alice answered with a faint smile.
